Got any pics? They give me more ideas than anything else. Quote Selected

Im glad you are doing it first, being second is usually cheaper lol. Looks like you are only an hour from me. Wouldnt want a TC header panel and bumper cover for that thing would you? I want to see this thing in person when its done for sure. Quote Selected

If I need a cowl I'll use an extended pin-on. Either way I'll definitely be getting it from VFN. Quote from: DVP;363543LSx has been one of the swaps I have thought about for the Cougar.

I want to see this thing in person when its done for sure.I probably will want them eventually, for the moment though I'm broke just from throwing parts at the drivetrain. As far as the first to do it, I'm definitely the first to have one in a Cougar or Thunderbird but I'm sure I won't be the first with a running car lol. Between being broke and not wanting to get burned out I don't work on it too much. Quote Selected

I've finally been cleared by the doctor so I decided to do a little more work. I ordered 16' of 2"x3" .083" wall from Allstar and started hacking up the floors. Quote Selected
